MAC ARTHUR HOUSE, WAIMEA, HAWAII. This house was the result of the client buying a very unattractive house on a very good site. Adams Design was asked to work with the structural core of the existing house and much of the existing plumbing locations. The new house takes advantage of the site with the addition of a dramatic entry extension on the uphill side and a major deck area off the extended living room. This deck also provides a roof over the lanai for the guest suite created by relocating the garages. The overall feeling of the house is contemporary, but with a strong traditional reference.
